Collecting U.S. coins by date and mintmark is popular, but building a complete collection is not always practical or possible. United States Type Coins details how to start the ideal numismatic pursuit: a collection of United States coins by type. Whether your desire is to gather one example of every type from the 1790's onward, or to build a specialty subset such as types from the 20th century, type-coin collecting is an attractive and affordable way to build a collection.
This newly updated edition of the award-winning United States Type Coins explores more than 250 distinct coin designs, from the 1792 half dimes up to today's American Innovation dollars, and every gold, silver, copper, steel, nickel, and other coin in between. Whether the coins you collect are from the beginning of U.S coinage in the late 1700's or something more recent, this book provides the reference tools you need: mintages, grading, collecting tips, values, and more, all in one essential historical reference and price guide.
Inside you'll find:
- Over 250 types, from half cents through $20 gold coins
- market vvalues in up to nine grades per coin
- Hundreds of color photos
- Grading guide
- Greysheet ID (GSID) numbers
- How to be a smart buyer
- Type-set variations
- And much more!
Type-coin collecting is one of the most rewarding and accessible ways to explore American numismatics. Whether you're a beginner just learning the ropes or a seasoned collector seeking historical depth, building a type set offers a unique blend of education, artistry, and challenge. Each coin tells a story--from early copper to modern clad issues--and together they form a panoramic view of our nation's coinage history. - Jeff Garrett, Senior Editor Red Book
Winner, Best Specialized Book on United States Coins (Numismatic Literary Guild)
